"A few cannons are nothing!" Chief of Staff Zhou said excitedly: "Division, let me tell you, this time it's not a matter of a few guns!" The committee said that it would take our 33rd Division as the basic unit, and then add one division and one brigade to join in and reorganize it into an army. You are the commander of the army, and the officers below the regiment are appointed by you! ”

Zheng Weiguo was overjoyed when he heard this, and said happily: "That's great, there is a military number that you don't have to worry about supply problems at least four or ten years ago." "Historically, the Japanese army only captured Nakajo Mountain in the summer of 41. As long as this bridgehead is not lost, supplies can continue to enter North China.

Chief of Staff Zhou smiled: "Of course there is no need to worry about supplies!" What we are entrusted with is not an ordinary military-level establishment, but the strongest Soviet armament army at the moment. There are only five of us in the whole of China's army! ”

Zheng Weiguo was taken aback, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Su Bingjun? Is it called an assault army? ”

Chief of Staff Zhou was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and said: "It seems that there is no such thing, but from the perspective of equipment and personnel quality, it is okay to call it an attack army!" Because our five armies are all general reserves directly under the Military Commission. ”

Since the time travel, Zheng Weiguo's memory has also been disordered. In fact, the creation of the assault army had to wait until 1940. In this year, according to the agreement of the US "China Aid Act", Chairman Chiang began to use US loans to purchase American-style equipment and arm the elite of his Central Army, with the 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 74th armies as the first four armies.

Unfortunately, due to Stilwell's insistence on giving priority to the use of US weapons for the expeditionary force, the domestic troops did not receive this batch of equipment in time. Like Yu Chengwan's 57th Division, it still used Soviet weapons during the Battle of Changde in 43. If it's an all-American machine. Maybe it will end better.

At present, there is no shadow of the American machinery, and the German machinery is fighting all over again, and the Su machinery is the king. However, there are not many Soviet weapons imported, and they cannot completely replace German weapons and miscellaneous weapons, so they can only organize a few main forces to deal with emergencies. It can be counted as the predecessor of the assault army.

Zheng Weiguo was a little incredulous, and said: "The Su Armament has to be a descendant to have a share, right?" Our regiments are the old foundations of the miscellaneous army, but they are dressed in the skin of the Central Army, and they can also share a piece of cake? ”

At the beginning in Xi'an, Zheng Weiguo was very self-aware, and did not ask for tanks, large-caliber anti-aircraft guns and other toys. Because he knew that these things would not be our turn at all. It's all in vain. Why bring shame on yourself?

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "This shows that the commission is heavy!" Besides, in terms of military merit, we should also enjoy this treatment! Looking at the whole country, which army can match our division in the number of enemy annihilations? ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled. Say, "It's not that simple! Tell me about it. Who are the other four armies? ”

Chief of Staff Zhou raised his hand and said, "There are the First Army, the Second Army, the Fifth Army, and the Eighteenth Army. They are all famous ace troops. Look at it, how difficult it is for us to squeeze in, even the 13th, 14th, and 74th armies are not on the line! ”

Zheng Weiguo shook his head. "That's what puzzled me," he said. The First Army and the Second Army were both units that were started by Chairman Huangpu, and the Fifth Army was even more of a descendant of the lineage; although the 18th Army was established late, there were people in the DPRK and were the starting troops of General Chief Chen. Our teacher is just a monk who has become a monk halfway, how can He De be among them? ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "But the opportunity is rare, Shiza!" Once this establishment is obtained, there is no need to worry about weapons, ammunition, and food supplies. ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "How can there be a free lunch in the world? There must be additional conditions attached to the commission! "The chairman of the committee has always hated miscellaneous cards, even Fu Yisheng's 35th Army did not get good weapons, and the Seventh Army of the Gui Department was still using Hanyang during the Liberation War. A monk in the 33rd Division who became a monk halfway through the division could achieve positive results, and he didn't believe it if he was killed.

Chief of Staff Zhou handed over the telegram and said: "The telegram does not explicitly say that according to my analysis, the chairman of the CPPCC National Committee wants to transfer us to Henan or go south along the Pinghan Road to defend the northern gate of Wuhan. However, I don't think it's anything, where is it not a devil? ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "If you go so far, what should you do in the base area? ”

Chief of Staff Zhou looked at Zheng Weiguo and said in a very sincere tone: "Master, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "What are these words? Although you and I have known each other for a short time, we have seen each other at first sight, and we have experienced life and death together, and we are brothers and sisters, so what can't we say? ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "Shizuo, the terrain in western Hebei is narrow, the people are poor and barren, where is the foundation place? A place like this, what's the point of abandoning it? ”

Seeing that Zheng Weiguo did not speak, he continued to persuade: "The situation that can develop behind the enemy line is only because the Japanese army is eager to attack Central China in order to achieve the goal of making a forced landing on the Nationalist Government. Once Wuhan falls, when the Japanese army frees up, where will there be room for us armed forces behind enemy lines to survive? ”

Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said, "Well, there will definitely be great difficulties behind enemy lines, but it's not that you can't hold on. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "To put it mildly, it is persistence, but in fact it is just a lingering breath!" At that time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to even fight a large brigade of the Japanese army, and it is almost impossible to win such a victory in the southeast of Jin. ”

Zheng Weiguoqi said: "Old Zhou, how did you make these judgments?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? Do you agree with my analysis? ”

Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "Although it is slightly biased, there is some truth. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "Isn't that over, now is a great opportunity, why don't we take advantage of the situation to leave the dead land of North China?" Look at the army of the Central Military System, how many are there in North China? Those who have a way have already withdrawn, so why wait here to die? ”

Zheng Weiguo sighed and said, "Chief of Staff, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other!" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou hurriedly said: "Please make it clear from the division!" ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "First, although North China is a dead land, there is still a glimmer of life. This vitality is the base. As long as a solid base is established by relying on the mountains, it will not be a problem to support the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Just like our western Hebei, the mountains are steep, the terrain is complex, and it can communicate with the two provinces of Shanxi and Hebei, and the geographical conditions are very superior. ”

He saw that Chief of Staff Zhou was listening carefully, and said, "This is the second." Although the Soviet armament army is good, we are not blessed! ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said curiously: "How do you say this?" ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "I am neither a Huangpu student nor a native of Zhejiang, so the chairman of the committee will not use me!" What's more, I'm still from the Northeast, and my brothers also have a large number of votes from the Northeast. "The chairman of the committee spared no effort for the division and disintegration of the Northeast Army, annexation of annexation, and dismissal of dismissal. The War of Resistance was only halfway through, and the Northeast Army had already disappeared.

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "Are you afraid that the chairman of the committee will divide and collapse? Now is the critical moment of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and you are a well-known victorious general, the chairman of the committee will definitely not dare to do it! Besides. From officers to soldiers, you pulled it all out single-handedly. Who can take your place? ”

Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said, "When the time comes, will I obey or disobey?" "To put it mildly, logistics and supplies are in the hands of others. Once there is a change. Where is the room for resistance?

Chief of Staff Zhou said, "What do you mean?" ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Let's delay it first." Let's see what the chairman thinks. In any case, this telegram is not a formal order, but just a probing situation. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "Okay, Shizao, you should think about it first." I'll contact the ordnance department of the Second World War Zone to see if I can get some of the supplies first. ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Well, that's the best, you can also contact Chief Wei more." He has more ways to go than us, so he should be able to find out some insiders. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou said, "Yes, Shiza!" Then I'll inquire first, and I'll report back as soon as I have news. ”

Sending Chief of Staff Zhou out, Zheng Weiguo suddenly found that Zhilan had not left, and was squatting under the willow tree in the courtyard in a daze, still holding a branch in his hand and writing on the ground.

Zheng Weiguo thought she was writing Hanyu Pinyin, but when she got closer, she found that she was writing the words "go and stay". Looking at the dense writing on the ground, it is estimated that it has been written for a long time.

Zhilan heard someone approaching, looked up and saw that it was Zheng Weiguo, and hurriedly used her hands to correct the scratches on the ground. But it's so big that I can't finish it for a while.

Zheng Weiguo smiled: "Don't get it, I've seen it all!" Why Zhilan, do you want to get out of here? ”

Zhilan nodded and said, "Hmm! My eldest brother became a traitor, and even our family couldn't raise their heads. So I wanted to change places. ”

Zheng Weiguo persuaded: "You are you, and your brother is your brother." You don't have to blame your brother's faults on yourself, just be an upright person. ”

Zhilan glanced at it sadly and said, "You also saw it, no matter what I do, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is that I am the sister of a traitor." ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Then where are you going to go?" ”

Zhilan said: "I haven't decided yet, some classmates persuaded me to go to Wuhan, and some classmates persuaded me to go to Yan'an, anyway, these are these two places!" ”

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment and said, "You stay first!" Wuhan will fall in a few months, and you can only be a refugee if you go. I've been to Yan'an, and it's not for you! ”

Zhilan's eyes widened and she said, "What are you doing?" My classmates said that Yan'an is very good, and the people's enthusiasm for resisting Japan and saving the country is very high, and young people from all over the country go there to study. ”

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment and said, "The situation in Yan'an is more complicated, you are too simple. Listen to me, don't go! There was a sentence he didn't say, for fear of hurting her. Just because her brother is a traitor, she has to be censored when she goes to Yan'an.

Zhilan still trusted Zheng Weiguo very much, and said pitifully: "Then, where can I go?" ”

Zheng Weiguo sighed and said, "Now that the world is in chaos, how can there be a pure land?" Stay and start running from tomorrow! ”

Zhilan wondered: "Why do you want to run?" ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "You can come to the army in the future, and you don't have to be a teacher at the school anymore." Personnel in the army should be simpler, as long as you work hard, everyone will definitely recognize you! ”

Zhilan lowered her head and said, "But I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well......"

Zheng Weiguo said: "There is nothing that you can't do, remember when you took your classmates to the shooting range to learn to shoot?" Be brave, in life, there are some ditches and bumps, and there will be nothing to do when you cross over! (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
